The SHAWCO paediatric clinic goes out once a month on Saturdays. Students from a variety of disciplines: medicine, dietetics and occupational therapy work together in providing a service that both treats important health problems in children and has a focus on promoting health through education of care givers and growth monitoring. Child health is something to be passionate about and when you volunteer on the clinic there is a strong chance that this passion will take a hold of you too. It is an opportunity to practice communicating with care givers and examining children. The teaching and experience on the clinic is excellent and very soon you will become an ace in diagnosing and managing common childhood conditions.  The clinic runs from Little Lambs pre-school in the Imizamo Yethu township which is situated on the eastern slope of Hout Bay.
